PRACTICE SUSTAINABILITY
At ELLIE SHAI, we are committed to the highest ethical standards and compliance in all aspects of our business, both product materials and supply chain. We work with suppliers who we believe in and share our commitment to fair trade practices, sustainability, accountability and complete transparency.
We’re transitioning away from plastic and have begun incorporating more recycled, eco-friendly packaging for our products and shipping.
CUSTOMER SAFETY ADVISORY
Everyone has their own unique body chemistry that may react differently to each product. We try to make our products using all natural ingredients, those that aren't completely natural are clearly labeled to prevent confusion.
All ingredient information is listed on individual product pages and on their respective packaging labels. Please read each description carefully as they provide pertinent information in regards to allergies and sensitivities.
- Please be advised that ingredient lists are subject to change. Please refer to the ingredient list on the product package you receive for the most up to date list of ingredients.
- For use with children and pregnant women you should consult with your physician prior to use; to ensure no adverse reaction occurs.
- Please don’t hesitate, ask questions on our Contact Us page prior to submitting your order.
PATCH TESTING
We strongly recommend doing a patch test on a small area of your skin, especially if this is your first time using any of our products.
- Products are for External Use on humans only! Do not ingest, do not use on lips or on broken, cracked or inflamed skin. Products should be applied to the body only, avoid face and eyes. Do not test on animals, as products are not formulated for such use. Please keep all products out of reach of children and pets.
- If you experience any adverse reactions like itching, burning, swelling, inflammation, etc. to the products, discontinue use immediately. If it gets in your eyes flush your eyes with water and use soap and water to get it off the skin. Do not wait, seek a diagnosis and/or treatment from a licensed medical professional immediately.
OUR PRODUCTS
The images of the products on our website are for illustrative purposes only. Products and packaging may vary slightly from advertised images on the website, as a result of supply availability, supply chain delays, lighting and/or your device’s display of color.

We do our best to alert customers by updating product selections (Amber Glass), (Clear Glass), (Gold Top), (Black Top)
- Due to the uniqueness and raw material used in some of our products, the color, finish and dye lot may vary on each item. Also, due to the nature of how our products are handcrafted, the uniqueness of each item varies from piece to piece. In addition, exposure to light and temperature changes can affect the condition of your merchandise over time.
- Each product purchased is sold subject to its product description. We take all reasonable care to ensure that all details, descriptions and prices of products appearing on the website or at markets are correct.
- However, we cannot guarantee the website’s accuracy and we may, on occasion, make inadvertent typographical errors, inaccuracies or omissions related to pricing and availability. We reserve the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies, or omissions at any time and to cancel any orders arising from such occurrences.
PRODUCT SHELF LIFE
Each product has a varying shelf life, relative to its production date. Please be advised that product ingredients, shelf life and directions are listed on its packaging.
- Product shelf life for most of our Body related products is approximately 1 year from its production date.
- It’s imperative that all products are stored correctly and used properly within a reasonable timeframe. DO NOT use old or expired products.
PRESERVATIVES
Please Be Advised: Body Care Products; Crème’s, Butters, Exfoliating Body Polish, Body Oils, etc. contain preservatives to maintain and sustain products overtime.
Why are Preservatives needed?
Preservatives are needed to kill microbes and to prevent mold and bacterial growth within the jars/ bottles as these body products contain water.
Can I place a special order and get Body products made without Preservatives?
Unfortunately we cannot accommodate that kind of request at the moment. Most of our body products contain water and other natural ingredients that are not self-sustaining. Without the incorporation of preservatives the overall integrity of the product would be severely compromised, have a very limited shelf-life and put our customers at risk.
